Richard S. Lavin: I would like to write a chapter based on work with blogs with EFL students in Japan. Depending on the desired generality and intended audience, this could focus specifically on language learning, or more generally on pedagogical and technical measures to foster community around blogs. At a more "meta" level, I'd also be interested in discussing approaches to edutech research, focussing specifically on work that I have done with Joe Tomei & Paul Beaufait with the WinK (Weblogging in Kumamoto) project over the last 5 years or thereabouts. If the book is conceived of primarily as a review of the whole field of educational technology, favoring review articles over original papers, then I could repurpose a survey of blog literature that I'm working on now. [I'd also like to see some discussion of the "edition" issue and whether the book should be seen as an update of the previous book or as a whole new book with very little parallelism required.]
Joe Tomei: Right now, I've been using the suite of Google online applications (not the separate Google Apps), so I'd be quite interested discussing their pedagogical and organiziational use in the language classroom. If it is going to be a revision, I'm happy to revise what Rick Lavin, Paul Beaufait and I did in the first edition.
Paul Beaufait (ltdproject): I'm definitely interested, yet wondering ... about the "edition" thing, which suggests continuity and extension, and may call for more parallelism in conceiving just what it is in order to distinguish it from just another book. ...
Kevin Kelly: I just taught a class called "How 2 Lrn w ur iPod," where we covered learning with quite a few technologies. Also may be able to share what I learn in my doctoral research this year that includes transfer students' perceptions of how social networking software can be used in the articulation process. Have been working with a group on ideas for Next Generation ePortfolios...lots of ideas! Count me in.
Nellie Deutsch: I would love to add some of my findings on blended learning and instructor use of e-learning technology in higher education as part of my doctoral research. However, I am currently using Wikieducator and would also love to do an action research project on whether WE can improve the writing of EFL high school students.
Steve Bocska: Depending on how your deadlines mesh with my schedule, I could get into this... The topic would be something about how video games can be used to facilitate education.

Laura Nicosia Using Ning to link public high school English students with my Graduate and Undergraduate pre-service English/LA teachers. This project was designed to aid in writing instruction, to provoke critical thinking and to provide my students with authentic, real-time, student works in progress. [I also use a different Ning site as a tool to support in-service teachers during their student teaching experiences and their induction periods.]
